[spark oxide]

Did you do the mount thing again? For the /mnt/disk1?

[prime cove]

Do u have usb with arch?

[iron rune]

@spark oxide Giving me no such file or directory: /mnt/disk1

@prime cove Yes.

We've gotten that far.

[spark oxide]

first mkdir /mnt/disk1

[prime cove]

Why he cant just mount it to /mnt?

[iron rune]

I've done that, cd'd into it and did ls and it gave me nothing.

[spark oxide]

you did cryptsetup and mount?

[iron rune]

Negative

could you give me the copy and paste from that again

[spark oxide]

ok

ok fine, we'll do it to /mnt

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/thePartition tmpData
mount /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt

[prime cove]

Wait he uses encryption??

[iron rune]

yes the tutorial i watched reccomended it...

[spark oxide]

[prime cove]

Lmao

Bros CIA's employee

[spark oxide]

you got that dir with the @ folders now?

[iron rune]

2 sec

ok ive done those two commands

[spark oxide]

cd /mnt

ls

[spark oxide]

cd @
ls

[spark oxide]

good

arch-chroot /mnt/@ /bin/bash

[iron rune]

🤝

[spark oxide]

ls /boot

is vmlinuz-linux there?

[iron rune]

hold up

[spark oxide]

nono

you chrooted

oh

it's empty

[iron rune]

i did the ls /boot

and it didnt say anything

[prime cove]

Probably because he didn't mount it?

[spark oxide]

yea

exit chroot

with exit

[iron rune]

ok... well

[spark oxide]

mount the first partition(the efi one) to /mnt/boot

[iron rune]

i exited chroot

but i did exit right after it

so im back to the OG screen

[spark oxide]

you logged out?

[prime cove]

Cant he mount boot partition from chroot? Im sure he can

[spark oxide]

maybe

[spark oxide]

ok first umount /mnt/disk2

like 4 times lmao

[iron rune]

command is just unmount /mnt/disk2

?

[spark oxide]

no

[prime cove]

He said 'umount'

Not 'unmount'

[spark oxide]

yes umount

[iron rune]

ohhhhh

[spark oxide]

lsblk

[prime cove]

Lmao wtf

[spark oxide]

ok just
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

then:
cd /mnt/boot

[spark oxide]

you missed a space

[spark oxide]

oh my bad

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/@/boot

[spark oxide]

yea it's /mnt/@/boot

cd /mnt/@/boot

[iron rune]

ok

done

[spark oxide]

ls

[iron rune]

ls now?

ye

ok

[spark oxide]

do the arch-chroot like before

[iron rune]

arch-chroot /mnt/@ /bin/bash

?

[spark oxide]

yea

[iron rune]

ok done

[prime cove]

I think linux package needs reinstallation lol

[spark oxide]

yea do pacman -S linux

[spark oxide]

but isn't there supposed to be something here?

[prime cove]

Yes, initramfs for example

But it will be generated with linux package installation

[prime cove]

Yes, pkg should be mounted first

[iron rune]

how do we do that boss.

[spark oxide]

he said his pc died during update, wouldn't the fallback kernel or something be here even if something didn't write fully?

@iron rune exit chroot

[iron rune]

done

[spark oxide]

mount /mnt/@pkg /mnt/@/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[prime cove]

Sus

[iron rune]

@prime cove Fkn hell buddy u want my CIA badge or something

[spark oxide]

try mount --rbind /mnt/@pkg /mnt/@/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[iron rune]

think i should cd first to the OG prompt

and then do it?

[spark oxide]

you missed a space

[iron rune]

ok done

[spark oxide]

arch-chroot back and reinstall linux package

[iron rune]

this a lost cause boys?

should i just reinstall the entire fucking thing

[spark oxide]

no

then nothing would be learned

[iron rune]

i am not a quitter.................

lets do this

[prime cove]

How do you think, will pacstrap do it?

[iron rune]

why is it saying no disk space i got like 476 gigs of freespace on this thing

[spark oxide]

df -h

[iron rune]

in chroot?

[spark oxide]

ye

[prime cove]

@spark oxide

[spark oxide]

probably

ok

leave chroot

[iron rune]

ok

[spark oxide]

just do "mount"

[spark oxide]

@prime cove how does he mount the @pkg?

@iron rune umount /dev/mapper/tmpData

[prime cove]

Recursively

[iron rune]

says 'target is busy'

[spark oxide]

umount /mnt/@pkg

[prime cove]

I dont remember actually, but lets try remounting root partition and using pacstrap

[iron rune]

says not mounted

[spark oxide]

doesn't he need the @pkg for space?

[prime cove]

Im not sure if pacstrap uses archiso's pkg or installed systems pkg

[spark oxide]

@iron rune umount /mnt/@/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[iron rune]

done

[spark oxide]

umount /dev/mapper/tmpData

[iron rune]

target is busy

[spark oxide]

umount /mnt/@

[prime cove]

RECURSIVELY

[spark oxide]

dont do umount /dev/mapper/tmpData

[prime cove]

PASS -R FLAG TO UMOUNT

[spark oxide]

umount /mnt/@/boot

[spark oxide]

cd ~

umount /mnt/@/boot

umount /mnt/@

[iron rune]

first one workekd

second one said not mounted

[spark oxide]

df -h

[spark oxide]

umount /mnt

[iron rune]

done

[spark oxide]

ok got some intel

mount -o subvol=@ /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt

[iron rune]

done

[spark oxide]

mount -o subvol=@pkg /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[spark oxide]

wait

umount /mnt

oh nvm that one worked

[iron rune]

mount -o subvol=@pkg /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

dis one that didnt work

[spark oxide]

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
reinstall linux package

[iron rune]

ok

[spark oxide]

oh I told you wrong

mount -o subvol=@pkg /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[iron rune]

ok so exit chroot correct

and do that

[spark oxide]

yea

do:

[iron rune]

i better connect to internet RQ just remembered

[spark oxide]

cat /mnt/etc/fstab

[spark oxide]

ok looking good

arch-chroot back
reinstall linux

[iron rune]

hold up

i forget the command to connect to my home wifi

isnt it iwntl

or some shit

gonna need internet to install the shit

[spark oxide]

maybe it has it already downloaded

does it say it can't connect or something?

it seemed to work last time to an extent

[iron rune]

im gonna try though

lemme see

[spark oxide]

yea you need to exit chroot and connect

[iron rune]

ITS WOOOOORKING

[prime cove]

Noice

[iron rune]

Initcpio Image generation Successful...

[spark oxide]

go to /boot

[iron rune]

exit chroot?

[spark oxide]

see if it's there

no

[iron rune]

bash: /boot: Is a directory

is what it says

[spark oxide]

cd /boot

[spark oxide]

ls

[iron rune]

def a lot more then there was...

[spark oxide]

try reboot

I'm still worried tho

[iron rune]

ok ive rebooted

[spark oxide]

to the broken system I mean

[iron rune]

yee doing it

Yup

Hold on...

we've made it pass the initial error message

black screen ATM

[spark oxide]

looks like it's loading

[iron rune]

reboot?

[spark oxide]

press ctrl+alt F2

[iron rune]

not doing anything

[spark oxide]

oml

is there any way you can get a terminal opened?

[iron rune]

im gonna button smash

and attemptp

[spark oxide]

what

[iron rune]

ok i goti t

i rolled my face over the keyboard

xfe terminal?

[spark oxide]

you sure holding left ctrl and left alt and then pressing F2 or F3 doesn't do anything?

[iron rune]

yes

[spark oxide]

in that search bar type xterm

[iron rune]

ok i did

it made some sound

nothing popped on the black screen tho

[spark oxide]

eh try terminator

[iron rune]

yeah nothing pops up

just a fkn sound

[spark oxide]

what terminal emulator did you use when the system worked?

[iron rune]

only thing that pops up is if i hit the tilda key

is that little search bar

but if i try and open anything nothing pops up still

the login shit still works

is it possible to open something from here?

nah still not working

[spark oxide]

try switch user

and then login with root

[iron rune]

only got one user

[spark oxide]

wdym?

[iron rune]

its only showing one user

[spark oxide]

can't you type root as username?

[iron rune]

@spark oxide i mean the first distro allowed me to actually boot in

im guessing the rest we need to install through chroot again

[spark oxide]

yea reinstall all the packages in chroot

but like

there really should be a way to open a shell here

1 sec

[iron rune]

im guessing if theres a repos we need to download for us to even see the graphics on screen etc

[spark oxide]

try this but with every F key

[iron rune]

ok sec i was in the installation media

gonna get back into the main shit

not working

think we do the chroot method and do pacman -Syu

it should install everything no?

[spark oxide]

yea

[iron rune]

HOLD ON

THINK I FIGURED IT OUT

nah...

NVM

i tried to do that

but i hit enter and nothing happened

[spark oxide]

try pkill wayland

or like

what is the display manager called

[iron rune]

i think its wayland yeh

or KDE?

[spark oxide]

try pkill kwin

pkill plasma-shell

[iron rune]

nada

think the chroot method with pacman -Syu

will work

we already installed one thing

[spark oxide]

pacman -Syu updates all the existing packages

[iron rune]

but itll recover ones that arent there too right?

[spark oxide]

if a package is corrupted it wont reinstall it

[iron rune]

😢

[spark oxide]

there's a command to reinstall all the packages

[iron rune]

aite should i go back to installation media?

[spark oxide]

sure

do the cryptsetup thing
mount the @
mount the @pkg

#1240909245956751451 message

#1240909245956751451 message

[iron rune]

mkdir /mnt/disk2
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 tmpData
mount /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/disk2
cd /mnt/disk2

this correct?

[spark oxide]

we doing it to /mnt

[iron rune]

mount -o subvol=@pkg /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

[spark oxide]

#1240909245956751451 message

do the /mnt like this

[iron rune]

mount -o subvol=@ /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt

[spark oxide]

yea

[iron rune]

ok

with the cryptsetup

or am i just doing that command

[spark oxide]

also mount the efi partition AFTER the @ subvolume

cryptsetup part is good

[iron rune]

ok

gonna do that first

[spark oxide]

This is a mess, I would advise you to switch to ubuntu or mint after this

[spark oxide]

umount /mnt/disk2

mount -o subvol=@ /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt

[iron rune]

done

whats next

[spark oxide]

and you did @pkg and the efi?

[iron rune]

can u paste those

[spark oxide]

mount -o subvol=@pkg /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/@/boot

also do mount -o subvol=@home /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/home

[iron rune]

im guessing do this mount -o subvol=@home /dev/mapper/tmpData /mnt/home

and then i do the one above it?

[spark oxide]

my bad its mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

[iron rune]

ok done

both

[spark oxide]

archroot

[iron rune]

arch-chroot /mnt/@ /bin/bash

?

[spark oxide]

no just /mnt

[iron rune]

ok

arch-chroot /mnt

[spark oxide]

I meant
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

[iron rune]

oh ok

[spark oxide]

then do:
sudo pacman -Sy pacman -Q | awk '{print $1}'

[iron rune]

ohhhmy god

hold on two sec

i did exit arch-chroot

and it sent me back

[spark oxide]

its fine

[iron rune]

its fine?

ok

do i have to redo everything

or is everything mounted

still

[spark oxide]

should be

[iron rune]

|

wtf is that

on they keyboard

[spark oxide]

for this you need the weird backtick: sudo pacman -Sy `pacman -Q | awk '{print $1}'`

[iron rune]

got it two sec

[spark oxide]

idk what your keyboard is

[iron rune]

before i press enter

is that good

[spark oxide]

wait do you have wifi connected?

[iron rune]

it downloaded the last thing so

should i attempt it and see?

[spark oxide]

wasn't that before the reboot?

When you reboot a live usb everything resets

[iron rune]

yeah but i think it connects automatically to my home network

hmm

ur rite

uhh

ill exit chroot rq and see

using the iwctl command

[spark oxide]

looks ok

[iron rune]

ok connected

..ok

So

Looks like we're good .. ?

[spark oxide]

do a pacman -Syu after that has finished

[iron rune]

Much Sucess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r13riaRKGo0

[spark oxide]

ok

[iron rune]
